It’s time for another swing around the college world to see what some Tri-Town residents have been up to.

At Salem State University, Boxford’s Keaton Cashin was the big man on the defense at 6-feet-2-inches, 230 pounds through 21 games this season.

Cashin patrolled the blue line for the Masconomet Chieftains until the 2008-09 season, and then played for three teams in three years en route to joining the Vikings. During his time with the Chieftains, he was a two-time Cape Ann League All-League player and three-time league all-star.

First, he played for Phillips Academy in Andover, and was named top Male Student-Athlete at the school in 2010.

He next joined former NCAA champion coach Mike Addesa’s now defunct Boston Jr. Bulldogs team in Salem, N.H. He played the 2011-12 season for the independent New England Wolves (of Waterville Valley, N.H.) before beginning this season at Salem State. Cashin scored his first career goal on Feb. 19 against Worcester State and added six assists for seven points in 21 games.

Keaton is a Sport and Movement Science major at Salem State University and wishes to pursue a career in weight training or at a college.

Jake London is a junior at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. He just finished 20th in the ECAC championships in high jump, clearing 6-feet-1.25-inches.

A week earlier, London took sixth in the heptathlon at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference (NYSCTC) championships.

He finished sixth in the 1,000-meter (2:52.54), ninth in the pole vault (10-feet-8-inches) and 10th in the 60-meter (9.31 seconds).

Topsfield’s Paige Marsh is also keeping herself busy in track and field, but at Johns Hopkins University. The freshman recently helped Johns Hopkins win its third straight Centennial Conference championship, finishing fourth in the pentathlon at the CC championship meet. There, she ran the 800-meter and the 60-meter hurdles and also took part in the high jump, shotput and long jump .

On Feb. 8, Marsh originally set the Blue Jays freshman record in the pentathlon of 2,594 points, which she went on to smash at the CC championship meet with 2,749 points.

The Fraser twins, Brittany Fraser and Heather Fraser, were co-captains for Masconomet lacrosse in 2009. Four years later, they have been given the same honor (and responsibility) with Union College in Schenectady, N.Y.

Heather, a biology major, led the 2012 team in groundballs (37) and had 22 points. Brittany, a three-time Cape Ann League All-League selection for Masconomet, had 14 goals in 2012.

Brittany, a psychology major, already has a goal for the 2013 season and Heather had an assist in the March 7 opener. They are next in action on March 25 in Florida for two games against northern opponents.
